HAMILTON, New Zealand (AP) — Stand-in captain Tom Latham won the toss and decided New Zealand will bowl Wednesday in the first of three one-day internationals against India.

Latham takes over the captaincy from Kane Williamson, who will miss the first two matches with a shoulder injury. Tom Blundell will make his ODI debut as Williamson's replacement at No. 3 in the batting order.

Allrounder Jimmy Neesham rejoins a lineup which includes two spinners — Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner — and seamers Tim Southee and Hamish Bennett.

New Zealand is on a nine-match losing streak across all formats, having lost the Twenty20 series to India 5-0.

Mayank Argarwal and Prithvi Shaw will open the batting for India in their one-day international debuts, replacing the injured Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.

Kedar Jadhav will play ahead of Manish Pandey while left-armer Kuldeep Yadav returns to India's lineup.
